This study investigates how Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), which is high blood sugar during pregnancy, develops and the differences between women who are diagnosed with GDM and those who are not. The study also aims to understand how GDM can progress to Type 2 Diabetes after childbirth and how infants born to mothers with GDM compare to those born to mothers without GDM.
Participants will attend up to 5 in-person visits, including three during pregnancy and two after delivery. During these visits, they will provide blood and urine samples, answer questions about their health and pregnancy, and complete surveys. Participants will also use an activity monitor and a nutrition app to track their diet.
- Who can participate: Pregnant women who are less than 20 weeks pregnant with one child can participate. Women with a current diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus are excluded.
- Study details: Participants will provide samples, answer health-related questions, and use an activity monitor and nutrition app.
- Study Visits: The study requires 5 visits.
